Only now did Zhao Xiaole know that the prime minister's heart was blocked and he was just in suspended animation.
It's just his plan to escape from the golden cicada's shell.
Now that Jingyang is completely messed up by them, how could Zhao Xiaole let them go so easily?
If the prince of Qian Kingdom wants to go back and seize the throne, he naturally needs the court to give him a legitimate name. Otherwise, he will have no place to stay if he goes back.
Killing people can't solve the problem, but it can force Zhao Xiaole to change his mind.
The murderous intention in Prince Qian's body slowly subsided, and he chuckled: "How to choose? It's all up to the Marquis himself."
"If the Marquis cannot make a decision, you might as well go out and have a look. I will give you a meeting gift today."
"If the imperial court never gives an explanation, then the capital will inevitably be devastated."
"Master Hou, please."
Before Zhao Xiaole could move, several figures in black came out and stood between Prince Qian and Zhao Xiaole.
He is the shadow guard raised by Liu Bo.
Zhao Xiaole was not afraid, and sneered, "Today I will ask you for advice, what is so powerful about this shadow guard?"
The leading shadow guard focused his gaze and walked alone in front of Zhao Xiaole. It was Ying Xian.
But the prince of Qian Kingdom picked up his handwriting and blew the ink lightly, not caring at all about the upcoming showdown.
Yingxian cupped his fists and spread his hands, signaling for Zhao Xiaole to make the first move.
Zhao Xiaole snorted coldly and struck him with his palm. Yingxian was not afraid and struck him with his palm.
Bang!
As soon as their palms touched, they separated.
Yingxian couldn't help but take a few steps back. The chair under Zhao Xiaole also broke open. Zhao Xiaole stood up slowly, his whole body aura calm.
Yingxian stood firm and looked at Zhao Xiaole warily again.
Zhao Xiaole did not take action again.
With that blow just now, Zhao Xiaole basically tested the opponent's strength. Ying Xian is also a first-rate master, but his strength is slightly inferior to him.
It would be pointless to continue testing.
Even if he could defeat the opponent, he still couldn't stop Prince Qian from leaving.
However, there is still not much time left for Zhao Xiaole.
The prince has to make up his mind on whether or not to let Prince Qian go.
"I will come again. You are a smart man and you will not do useless things." After Zhao Xiaole finished speaking, he turned and left.
Prince Qianguo chuckled, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I won't let His Highness the Crown Prince suffer. After Lord Marquis goes out, how about you take a look at my first gift?"
Zhao Xiaole paused for a moment, then walked out of the yard without stopping.
The servant had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhao Xiaole coming, he took the initiative to open the courtyard door. Zhao Xiaole stepped out without even looking at him.
Before he saw the scene outside, Zhao Xiaole smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder and the sounds of busy rescue outside.
The streets were bombed.
The other party hid gunpowder under the road.
Before, they were all standing on gunpowder.
There were many injured guards, spears and gravel were scattered on the ground, and the horses had already been blown to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Zhao Xiaole looked at it and saw that the horse he was riding had been slightly injured because it was standing far away, and it had calmed down at the moment.
Xie Jiang, a talented scholar from Yanshan who was a candidate, and Ren Xiaoyao from Lu Qingbai were both injured.
This was the gift given to him by the prince of Qian Kingdom.
Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The other party had accurately calculated the amount of gunpowder, or in other words, the other party deliberately detonated the gunpowder at the location of Lu Qingbai and Xie Jiang.
Zhao Xiaole had thought before that the other party might have a secret passage, but what he didn't expect was that the other party's secret passage was filled with gunpowder.
"Master Marquis, how is the situation?" Li Lin came up and asked, "Do you want me to go in and get the lock?"
He also suffered some injuries, but they were not serious injuries!
At this moment, the gunpowder was detonated, and he already had a legitimate reason to lock up the prince of Qian Kingdom, and he did not even need the prince's consent.
Zhao Xiaole waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, he won't leave. Why don't you go rescue the injured first?"
"yes."
Li Lin glanced at the yard and nodded reluctantly.
Zhao Xiaole walked up to Lu Qingbai and Xie Jiang, Xie Jiang had a wry smile on his face, and Lu Qingbai's face was gloomy.
Xie Jiang smiled and said: "I wonder what kind of deal Mr. Hou made with the other party? It happened to injure us?"
"Fortunately, the common people know some martial arts. Otherwise, they would have been blown to pieces on the spot."
Ren Xiaoyao next to him was more seriously injured, probably to protect Lu Qingbai, otherwise, with his skill, he would never be injured like this.
Lu Qingbai asked with a ferocious look: "Marquis Zhenguo, you must give me an explanation for this matter."
Zhao Xiaole showed disdain and didn't bother to explain to him. He just said: "The other party has a lot of this kind of gunpowder hidden in the capital. He plans to use it in exchange for returning to Qian Country safely. This time it is just a meeting gift."
Hearing this, Xie Jiang and Ren Xiaoyao felt a little angry, and Lu Qingbai said coldly: "You don't really want to agree to him, do you?"
Zhao Xiaole said coldly: "Lu Qingbai, recognize your identity clearly. In Prince Pingxi's Mansion, you are the heir apparent. In the capital, I will kill people like you if I want. Do you really think your life is worse than that of the whole city?" Are the people more important?"
Lu Qingbai lowered his head bitterly and stopped talking.
No matter from the perspective of the crown prince or the third prince, there is no problem with Zhao Xiaole's choice.
Who knew the other party still had gunpowder there?
Even if you are safe around you, you cannot guarantee that you will not go out. You may be attacked by gunpowder while walking on the road.
More importantly, the reason why Prince Qian dared to do this was because he was sure that he could leave the capital. All he wanted was a name.
Xie Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you planning to do?"
Zhao Xiaole sighed and said, "The assessment cannot continue. I will also report this matter to His Highness. You can relax. As for how to deal with the matter of the Prince of Qian Kingdom, you don't have to worry."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaole stood up and left.
Neither Xie Jiang nor Lu Qingbai expected that things would end like this.
Xie Jiang smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, even if I pass the examination, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue participating. What about you?"
Lu Qingbai was stunned and asked: "Why do you say this?"
Xie Jiang said with a sarcastic face: "Don't you understand yet? In order to leave safely, Prince Qian Guo has reached a deal with Marquis Zhen Guo, and he wants to help Marquis Zhen Guo eliminate us. This is what Prince Qian Guo sent us. The first gift.”
"If I don't announce my withdrawal, I'm afraid we will all be killed. I am helpless in Jingyang. Unlike you, in order to save my own life, I have no choice but to announce my withdrawal."
Lu Qingbai also reacted quickly and hammered the wall hard, "If you have the ability to kill me, just let your horse come over!"
